“I’m pretty disappointed with Kanye that he says he would have voted for Trump,” continued Legend. “I think Trump has been corrosive, his message has been corrosive to the country. I think the things he’s promised to do have been very concerning for a lot of people, and for Kanye to support that message is very disappointing.”

The interviewer went on to say that maybe Kanye had something else on his mind when meeting with Trump, but Legend shut that down, saying, “Whatever’s in his mind, I disagree with him.”
